Advancing Vocational Student’s Self-Efficacy Through Integration STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) Education

Abstract

The existence of the 4 th industrial revolution will force schools to be more creative in presenting the skills that will be faced by job seekers along with the rapid competition in the world of work. This study aims to gain several ways of advancing students' self-efficacy through STEM education based on the learning process. This study uses a literature review method with big data from several online database resources. There are several techniques that a lecturer can use to deliver STEM in the good direction. The lecturer can enrich the students' prestigious skills by creating out of class learning, display curiosity and shows them something that very interesting, encourage students to ask to develop problem-solving skills, and it very uses full using real-life experiences. On the other hand, self-efficacy was not developed automatically. It needs some treatment for advance students selfefficacy. Finally, some suggestions were proposed for future research on reforming and improving vocational students' selfefficacy.

ATS-STEM: Global Teaching Methodology to Improve Competences of Secondary Education Students

“…Other outstanding competences are communication and collaboration, largely fostered by the involvement of students in group work while participating in these projects [34]. Other competences favored by this methodology are self-regulation or autonomous learning [35,36], intrinsically linked to the curiosity to learn and managing time for learning [20]. Finally, other studies have indicated the advantage of PBL to improve metacognitive skills, which are those that allow reflection on one's own ideas and allow one to regulate learning [37,38].…”

Thematic Content Analysis of Doctoral Theses in STEM Education: Turkey Context

“…In addition, STEM education provides individuals with high-level thinking skills, creativity skills, understanding that a problem can have more than one solution, courage, selfconfidence, collaboration and effective communication skills (Deveci, 2018). Since STEM develops various literacy skills, it creates a bridge for individuals to prepare for a career (Wu, Marsono & Khasanah, 2019). In this context, in addition to cognitive learning with STEM education, the acquisition of high-level skills expected from 21st century individuals is also supported.…”
